몬타솔라 최고의 MTB 라이딩 경로

The Osteria del Tancia was built towards the end of the Middle Ages, around the 15th century. It arose in a strategic position, on the pass of Mount Tancia, the highest peak of the Sabine Mountains, at about 800 meters above sea level. For centuries, the Osteria del Tancia represented the most important stop along the Via del Tancia, which was the main connection between the Rieti basin and the Sabina Tiberina. This road was frequently traveled by merchants, shepherds who practiced transhumance, pilgrims and bandits.

Mandatory destination at least once a year!

"The chapel erected on the peak which was always called Monte San Francesco, at 1203 m, recalls the hermit's place where Saint Francis lived, under a cloth stretched and tied to four hornbeams, before the foundation of the convent of Greccio. In 1713, Clemente XI wanted to build a chapel in memory. From up there, the view is beautiful: from the left you can see the pink Mount Vettore, then the Reatini mountains, up to the Velino group".
